Ok so, I've been fussing over this for the longest time, ESPECIALLY during the Willow Refresh reveal but I finally decided I wanted to give my 2 cents on this.
Willow's lighter should be infinite in Don't Starve Together.
Now before y'all start squeaking about how "it would make darkness pointless" and how "infinite light sources are too op" Imma ask you to shush for a while and read through this first.
Reasons why Willow's lighter wouldn't be "OP", "Broken" and "Busted" in Don't Starve Together.
1. The light radius is so small there'd be no point in using it as your main light source outside of the early game.
2. You still need to hold it in your hand slot for it to give off light, unlike the lantern on miner's hat.
3. It costs petals/gold/rope to make.
Reasons why Willow's lighter being infinite would be nice and healthy for her character and the game overall.
1. It would make Willow's character more unique as a whole simply due to having a unique, permanent tool at her disposal.
She'd be able to cook food with it on the go whenever she'd need to (this still wouldn't be broken simply because crockpots exist, the main purpose would be for stuff like green caps). Would be able to light some stuff on fire when needed and even use it as a nice secondary weapon(Lighter > Dark Sword > Lighter > Dark Sword).
2. It'd be something "new". We have no infinite light sources, nor really "unique" light sources in this game so the lighter would bring back something fresh into the game because let's be honest, the only reason it's not infinite is because Klei liked their PVP.
1. It'd be a nice little buff to Willow, not a huge and overly impactful one, but nice, not a flavour perk, but not really an impactful one either, a nice in-between.
The lighter used to be her signature thing, and the reasons that it no longer is are kinda disappointing.
But UwU Nikki! "Cried the fanboys and fangirls!"
The gwiefews will aboose the infinite lightew UwU!
But you can play on private servers... And on monitored pubs, or make friends so you can play with them! "Cried Nikki as the fanboys and fangirls hounded him!"
NO UWU! WE KNOW WHAT'S BEST FORW THE CHAWACTEW WE DON'T PWAY UWU!
Anyhow, there was absolutely no point EVER in removing the infinite durability of the lighter, might as well bring it back.
She wouldn't be even close to OP, unlike other characters. She'd just be nice and fun to play, but fun is very subjective.
